It's 1am and i just had to finish the cake topper! i did most of the painting before and after dinner and painted the eyes and the fan sign now. I dn't know if i should eave is tie pearl white to match my dress or to paint it blue. Anyways here's the progress breakdown and the total costs at the end! :)
I would say altogether i spend close to 20hours of sculpting and painting. possibly more but totally worth it. It may not be as nice as the professionally made ones but i think i did a pretty good job.
Stinson 16gauge wire whole roll $3.29 (I don't think i even used $1 worth for these and i used way more already practicing wire letters)
Aluminum foil $0 already had at home
Sculpey $3.49 before taxes + 40% off Michea's coupon = $2.36 after taxes (Used all of it)
Paintbrushes & Acylic Paints from dollarama $3.67 for both (still got lots of paint left over)
1 bottle of metallic silver paint and pearl white paint $0 already had it from before but i think it was $1 each from the dollar store.
TOTAL: under $10 !! + hours of labour.
Yes it took long but it was also fun, i found it very relaxing and it was nice to spend time to myself :)
Happy DIY-ing!
